Hi,

I'd like to change the default character encoding from nautilus for
creating files or directories. If I create a directory with (for
example) a German Umlaut (e.g. testdatö) in nautilus, outside nautilus
(here in aterm) it looks like this:

tobias:/$ ls -la testd*
total 1
drwxr-xr-x  2 tobias users 4096 2006-10-13 22:26 testdatö

It's quite unreadable but nautilus shows everything perfect (e.g. with
the Umlaut ö). My shell uses the [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale (iso8859-15):

tobias:/$ locale
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
LC_CTYPE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
LC_NUMERIC="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
LC_TIME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
LC_COLLATE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
LC_MONETARY="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
LC_MESSAGES=C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
LC_ALL=

If I create such a directory (with ö) in my shell, nautilus displays
everything fine, too. It's just while creating, nautilus uses a
different character encoding (I guess it's UTF-8?), while reading
nautilus seems to use iso8859-15, too (besides the UTF-8).

I already tried to set G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable to
@locale or [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my /etc/profile but although the variable
definitely is being set ("env" displays the variable being set) nautilus
seems to ignore it.

Does anybody have any idea how to change this behaviour?
